"Oh, Dick, dear!" she cried, taking his hand in hers with a mother-touch and tone, "must you suffer, too? Oh, don't say you must! Not with my pain, Dick! Not with my pain!" Her voice rose in a cry, broke into a sob, but still she held him with her eyes. "Do you say I must?" he answered in a hoarse tone. "I love you with all my heart." "Oh, don't Dick, dear," she pleaded, "don't say it!"
Always there was lacking the mother-touch.

His father was glad to have him do this, and withheld his own money, allowing Austin to assume the responsibility.
How long a time elapsed he never knew between the moment when he, read the news of the accident and the moment when shattered, exhausted, disfigured by emotion, he raised himself to his feet.

She threw her arms about Mrs.
For in the touch there had been something even more potent and pleasing than in the mother-touch of Miss Mary's hand that day when first he came to the town, the mother-touch that revealed a world not of kindness alone for that was not new, he had it from the little old woman whose face was like a nut but of understanding and sympathy.
